MES CAT 6.0. by T.CON Is Certified by SAP® for Integration with SAP S/4HANA®

Companies use the MES CAT solution, which is available on SAP Store, to digitize production environments with the help of MES modules as well as other integrated cloud and on-premises products.

"In close dialog with our customers, for example, at events such as Production Day, it has become clear that exception-based and guided work is now a key requirement for our customers," said Michael Karl, product owner of MES at T.CON. "The renewed certification proves that MES CAT is the optimal central building block for building digitized production based on a fully integrated system — integrated with SAP ERP based on SAP technology. For our customers, the certificate signals investment security. It ensures that our software will continue to work with future SAP releases."

More than two dozen companies around the world use the MES CAT solution. With this certification, T.CON has further developed its MES software in direct exchange with the manufacturing industry.

A user interface that gives workers intuitive access to information is one example of this innovation. "We increase efficiency in production through recommended actions and predictive information for the worker," said Karl. "Employees enjoy working with the system and can concentrate on their actual tasks."

The topic of interoperability with other system modules was also a focus of the developers' work.

MES SAP-certified: Focus on interoperability

Due to open standard interfaces, MES CAT is ideally suited for setting up hybrid system landscapes in which mission critical systems such as production control are mapped on premise. Here, factors such as fail-safety are paramount. This stable digital core of production can easily be supplemented with innovative applications from the cloud, which allows new functions to become part of the digital system landscape for production. In this way, existing legacy systems can also be functionally expanded in many cases.

The certification also proves that a decision in favor of MES CAT is easy on the IT budget because MES CAT can also be implemented quickly on any SAP installation thanks to the coordinated technological basis. 

To ensure MES CAT customers benefit from SAP integration in the long term, T.CON renews certification for this product in roughly two-year cycles. MES CAT was certified for the first time in 2012.

SAP Integration and Certification Center(SAP ICC) has certified that the integration software for MES CAT 6.0 solution integrates with SAP S/4HANA using standard integration technologies SAP S/4HANA is the next-generation business suite designed to act as the digital core, helping customers drive digital transformation across their organizations.
